NOT ALL POT PLANTS THE SAME
It's disgusting that some police officers consider busting marijuana
cultivation sites as, in the words of an officer quoted in the
article, a "game."
One reason cannabis and its cultivation is prohibited is because law
enforcement agencies and their unions lobby to perpetuate the
luciferous persecution. Is that so they can play games?
Millions of North Americans choose to use the relatively safe,
socially acceptable, God-given plant; the most dangerous part of
supplying the demand is police caging or killing growers.
That's not a game; it's a sick discrimination which should
end.
Cannabis should be legalized and cultivation should be regulated. The
law enforcement community should be working to stop crime and protect
citizens, not playing games.
